stock interests. He cannot fail to have
estimated the loss OF revenue from the
new law regulating the retail liquor traf-
fic. The revenue of about S45, 900 per
annum from the drummers' tax ceases.
Prohibition is possible, which in
eliminating the liquor license tax
and the ad valorem tax on liquors
could reduce the revenues $1,000, 900
IN the two years of mis- term of Of
fee. Evidently it is an inauspiciOus
time to experiment with tax postpone
ment which might be expected to AFFORD
relief to few needing it, while it would be
certain to throw into inevitable bank
ruptcy the Treasury by q tax postpone
ment, complicated with a loss to the
revenue of $1,000, 900 from the suppress
siou of the liquor traffic. Prohibition
adopted in August next would be the
signal for an immediate session of the
Legislature and radical reorganization Of
the revenue system, and pending cess g.
ton of tax collections would present to
Governor Ross such present hopeless
depletion Of the Treasury and forlOrn
prospect for the future that he could an
ticipate only failure at the hands of an
impotent Legislature, responsiblei for
all his misfortunes. The Governor could
not afford to go into this discussion in
his veto paper; still he must be dragged
into it before August in all probability.
Maxey and Reagan can with complacency,
and smaller prohibition leaders with
pleasure, contemplate the embarrass
ments they expect to bring upon the
Governor in the pending campaign, which
threatens his party and administration
together for the time with common de-
feat. His late chief adversary in the con-
test for the Democratic nOmi-
nation also becomes his foe
as prohibition advocate and
leader. Colonel Swain is now an adj
vanced Prohibitionist. II the Governor
does not see in ell this prohibition
party and ticket in opposition TO him for
a second term he enjoys reputation for
political sagacity to which he is not en-
titled. 1t was cunning under the clrCum-
stances in the prohibition Legislature to
load MIN down with the tax postpOnement
while creating offices right and left, estab
fishing new asylums, and increasing the
of government. 1t would by de
sign or accident crush Democratic Gov
ernor that his late opponents might the
more readily attain revenge together with
office

ENFORCED TAX COLLECTION.
A Defense of the Governor and a Cock and
Bull story.
Galveston News, April Is.


Galveston News, April Is.
There may be some who doubt the
necessity of the veto of the bill postpon-
ing until September next the forced col
lection of taxes levied last year. Gov
ernor Ross cannot but be spprehensive of
the dangers which threaten his financial
administration lurking in the bill in ques-
ton, lowering in the prohibition move
ment and clearly seen in the calamities
which have visited the stock districts,
dangers to which he could not appro-
priatelY refer in the proclamation an
nouncing the veto. The Legislature had
adjourned, leaving the standing deficit in
the school revenues where 1t was
when the session began. Attention had
been called to it repeatedly in the col
umns of the News, and it was adverted
to by the retiring Governor; school war
rants were at discount from January
to April 4, and no effort was made to
remedy the wrong. On the contrary, the
Legislature diverted $50, 900 of the school
fund, created six judgeships, four district
attorneys, full set of officers for two
new asylums and a reformatory, created
the offices of extra assistant attorney
general, of state surveyor, OF receiver
in the treasury, of county school
superintendent, and added clerk
ships and bureaus with
liberal hand, without any apparent reali-
zation of the embarrassment which the
school department was suffering, and
which threaten all departments of the gov
eminent. The postponement of tax col
lections in the western country scoUFged
by the drouth would have been justffiable,
but in the whole state was not required,
and the bill was threat to the Governor
and a grievous wrong to the dsouth
stricken west. The postponement.would
defer the collection of school taxes and
the payment of interest on school fund
investments by the debtor counties until
the first quarter of the next scholas-
tic year, while there is now
deficiency of 5000, 900 in the second quar-
ter of the current scholastic year. This
would have been sufficient ground for
the veto of itself. The Governor doubtless
looked beyond this and saw the probable
reduction in revenues from the crippled

JUST at this time there seems to be q
plethora of epithets in the House of Par
Lament. "Lisr and coward, assassin and
murderer" are as handy in an Irish fight
as the time-honored shiIlaleh. 1t is true,
the highly respectable legislators of Great
Britain are expected to use the more
polished weapons Of logic and satire, but

magnificent scope to the pen of the novel

PERHAPS nothing indicates the tickle
ness Of popular favor more than the treat
ment Governor Taylor is receiving from
the press and people OF the state
of Tennessee. Lsst summer his praises
were sung in unstinted measure,
and because of his position on the
Blair bill he has ignominy heaped upon
him with the same liberality. He Is
called "mugwump," "betrayer," etc,
and reminded That his day as an orator is
passed. These are hard times for one
who rode the tidal wave into the guber-
Material chair; but that tide also has it's
GIBBS and flows, and Governor Taylor
seems in fair way to become q stranded
wreck.

OTTAWA, Ont, April 22-The Minister Of
Marine and Fisheries has received dis
patch from Victoria, B. c., saying four
Kyuginot Indians arrived in Catal yester-
day morning, ten days from their starting
point. They bring tidings of the wreck
of schooner thirty miles south OF
Cape Flattery. The information an
swers in every particular to the miss
ing sailing schooner Active. Bunks, In
dian mats, bedding, etc, were washed
ashore. The schooner was broken up and
its name could not be ascertained. The
wreckage, however, was that OF a schooner
like the Active, and it is believed to be all
that is left of the unfortunate vessel and
thirty three souls on board.
The receipt of the news created pro-
found sensation in this city among friends
of Mr. Jake Guttman, one of the owners,
who was on board, and also for the captain
man, Captain Gatschaml, Otto Ja-
cobson, Charles Frederickson, Billy
Gessong, besides twenty-eight Clay
aquet Indians, belonging to Chief
Kilsomatt's tribe. All these have
undoubtedly perished. Chief Kilsomatt
was at the head of the Indian hunters and
canesmen on board. The death of its head
and SO many of the tribe are tantamount
to its extinction. When member Of the
tribe dies those remaining burn down the
hut of the dead man. Having given their
friends on the Active up for dead, their
dwellings have been burned.
The schooner was owned by Guttman &
Co., of Victoria, and was registered at 49O
tons. Last week Mr.. Frank, one Of the
owners, went up to the west coast on the
Government steamer Sir James Douglas
in search of news Of the missing vessel,
but has notyet returned. The Active was
engaged in general coast trade and had a
valuable cargo Of assorted merchandise on
board which, however, was not insured.
